In thermal systems, heat exchangers are used to control the operating temperature of the working fluids. Shell and tube style heat exchangers are the most common kind of heat exchangers used in industries. In this work, shell and tube heat exchanger performance analysis is performed using CFD tools under industry-collected boundary conditions. Instead, the cooling liquid ammonia is replaced by Al2O3 and evaluated accordingly to increase the performance of the system. Instead the heat exchanger of the shell and tube is replaced by the heat exchanger of the u tube and analysed under the same boundary conditions. Then, the results are compared and the application of Al2O3 was found to have a better thermal efficiency.
